We planted 15 emerald green arborvitae in my backyard this past Sunday. The goal on the sides was to break up the view of the yard from the neighbors elevated decks (without being a dense wall of trees), and then to add additional trees along the back to balance it out. Originally I wanted to put them 2-2.5 feet off the fence, but after speaking with the guys helping me plant them, we decided on 3.5 feet. At first it felt like a great idea so that the trees would get more airflow and it would give me easier access to the fence, but now it looks awkward with the large gap behind it. I know the trees aren’t fully grown, but even at full grown there will still be a noticeable gap.

Did we mess up? If we did, how can I fix this? Maybe some plants to stagger between them to fill the gaps? The trees on the sides are around 3.5-4’ apart from one another and the ones along the back are 7.5’ apart.

I had a 1986 Subaru (with no airbag but a spare on the engine) and the person before me had installed the radio (with a cassette player) but didn’t wire it right. They wedged the wiring in with a fuse and every time you turned off the car it would reset the stations. Without the internet, I was able to figure out how to properly wire it.

These are almost empty.
